    Hanna has been in labor for hours but her cervix is only dilated to 5 cm and her contractions have become weak and irregular, indicating possible uterine dysfunction. The midwife can reassure Hanna that slowing labor is common and keeping her updated on progress may help reduce anxiety. Amniotomy or oxytocin administration could help strengthen contractions if needed. Aji's waters may have ruptured, as indicated by the increased wetness she feels. The midwife will do a sterile speculum exam to visually confirm rupture of membranes. If confirmed, continuous fetal monitoring and antibiotics would be appropriate interventions to prevent infection.
